+For a very long time I have been working on improving my writing. Since 2005 I have kept a journal. I always had a bunch of notes laying around in my computer. At some point around 2013 I decided to create my own app to organize my writing and hence **Codex App** was born. It's a node server that renders markdown files from a folder structure on to webpages. Then you can navigate your notes just like a wiki and edit the files on my favorite (*and always changing*) markdown editor.
+
+Fast-forward to 2021 and this app is totally outdated. It wasn't a complete wreck because somewhere in 2018 I had done a revamp and added full text search. But the layout felt old, there was no file editing and no way to put the content on the internet without making everything public.
+
+Because of all those issues, time went by and I stoped using Codex. Sometimes I used it if I need to search for something in my notes, but besides for that, I didin't use it much. 
+
+But now I'm working on Kairoscope with my cousin Ben and we really need a shared knoledgebase. Yes, we could use google drive, but we want to move away from google as much as posible. We could also pay for some service like [Notion](https://notion.io), but in the long run that would cost us thousands of dollars. 
+
+So I decided to update codex. My requirements where it to have a shiny new layout, a markdown editor, authentication, and the ability to upload and download files and folders. 
+
+For making my life easier (*or more complicated*), I decided to also add a long due plugin system. By making most of this new functionality modular, It would be easier to add new features and I could use codex in diferent scenarios.
+
+For a long time I used [Evernote](https://evernote.com) to organize these to things. I tried and switched to many diferent alternatives trying to find the perfec software to organize my **second brain**. But at some point around a decade ago I gave up on finding something and decided to simply *write markdown files saved on a folder structure*.
+
+This worked well for a while, but then I started linking between notes. There was a little PHP app called *windex* that rendered a folder structure from you drive on the browser and rendered the `Readme.md` file from the current folder, just like github.

+After a long delay, the new *Kairoscope Games* website **is out**! It was due since we launched our first game, [Max Raider](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1481070/Max_Raider/), on December last year. You can check out the new website at [kairoscope.net](https://kairoscope.net).
+
+This is a simple website with the objective to showcase our games, our company and whats going on. Also to provide extra information for third parties, like [presskits](https://kairoscope.net/presskits) for media and influencers. The third objective is to be a central comunications hub where everyone can find a way to reach us, be it by sending a [direct message](https://kairoscope.net/contact/) thru the website, joining our [discord](%5BKairoscope%5D(https://discord.com/invite/SvKJ2cy)) server or simply by signing up to our [newsletter](https://kairoscope.net/newsletter/).
